This is why I've learned, and am doing much better at simply keeping my mouth shut and if speaking, trying to measure each word better, as well as my manner of speaking.<BR/><BR/>Yes, we've all been there too many times.

Sadly, I saw myself in the video as well. How often my words are impatient, unkind. <BR/><BR/>What I like about the video is the way it "pulls back the curtain" on how many fine, upstanding Christian families live.
